lyrics

You wake up tomorrow, without her there
Without her in your arms you walk yourself home, to drunk to say a word to me
And you will take the next step
Try and drown your fears in oceans
You will take the next step down

Its understated that you’re falling down way from the top
Its underneath, your skin and creeping out like a tide that drowns you
And it’s going to explode!

Never though you’d have the courage
Never though they’d be the ones to hold you down
You walked in to a disaster
Keeping all your inhibitions and your bad memories from the past

You will stand up one last time, and will open up your eyes, just like clouds across the sky
People live people die, but they wont wake up alright
You should have known then

You should have left them behind
You should have told them to die.
You should have told them not to think.

Its understated that you’re falling down way from the top
Its underneath, your skin and creeping out like a tide that drowns you
And its going to explode!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

And you will take the next step, try and drown your fears in oceans.
You will take the next step down.

Its understated that you’re falling down way from the top
Its underneath, your skin and creeping out like a tide that drowns you
And its going to explode!
